Hu-Sane: Sober Ravers for Palestine
Sober Ravers for Palestine is a performance event that will transform the Studio into a daytime dance space, free from intoxicants but not lacking in energy and the communal potential of rave. We will be hosting multidisciplinary British artist Hu-Sane, who will present a multi-genre DJ set at the Studio with her signature UK Garage swing, percussive rhythms and elements of Punjabi sounds.
The artist’s DJ set will be a musical journey through her Pakistani heritage, combining the nostalgic energy of the dance floor with modern bass music. At the same time, it will be a celebration of the sounds of the diaspora, creating an inclusive, euphoric atmosphere for the audience. The whole experience will be complemented by original visuals, which Hu-Sane will present during her set.
The event is part of the exhibition Raise the Curtain! – a metaphorical journey through British culture in search of dance revolutions, the transformative power of the night and moments when fun takes on a political character and becomes a tool for change.
Rave is also part of the performative activities programmed by Francis Thorburn, a British artist participating in the exhibition.
